Ionia Sentinel Standard, 26 Jan 1931

Funeral services for the late Charles Herbert, Ionia township resident, will be 
held at the Boynton funeral chapel Wednesday at 2 o’clock, with Rev. W.F. 
Kendrick in charge.

Mr. Herbert, who lived on the VanSickle farm, three miles northeast of the 
city, died suddenly Sunday afternoon in the Prairie creek vicinity while 
driving his automobile towards town.  His sister, Mrs. Mabel Greenman, who was 
a passenger in the machine, noticed it weaving from its path and discovered her 
brother had slumped at the wheel.  The car came to a halt some 40 feet away in 
a deep snowbank without incurring any damage or injuring its occupants, Mr. 
Herbert having turned off the ignition when he felt his illness coming on.

Although he had been receiving treatments for heart trouble for some time, Mr. 
Herbert had been in apparently good health the past few days.  He was 64 years 
of age.  Mrs. Herbert died 27 years ago and the past 26 years, Mrs. Greenman, 
whose husband also is dead, had lived with him.  They had been on the VanSickle 
place six years.

Besides Mrs. Greenman, a son, Charles, Jr., survives him in California, 
together with another sister, Mrs. Florence Thunder, of Marshall, and a 
brother, Harry, of Battle Creek.
